Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for forming a connection transition between two surfaces adjoining one another at right angles, in which at least one surface is provided with rigid coverings, in particular with ceramic plates, with an angle profile and an outwardly acting, resilient sealing strip.
  • a covering device for wall joints is known, in particular for plinth joints in wet rooms, in which an angle profile is provided which can be fastened with a leg to a surface delimiting the wall joint.
  • the other leg is loosely fitted in a corresponding recess on the other surface.
  • An elastic sealing strip is attached to the fastening leg, which covers the other leg and acts resiliently against the other surface.
  • a sealing strip is also provided to seal the entire transition, which is attached to the attached longitudinal edge the sealing strip is attached.
  • Such a covering device can only be fitted on the outside on the adjoining surfaces forming the joint, so that the fillet-like sealing strip is visible in its full, relatively large width.
  • DE-OS 35 03 396 also discloses a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is formed from two plastic angle profiles that are in sliding connection with one another. With such a profile connection, the respective fastening legs of the individual angle profiles are fastened in an adhesive layer under the ceramic plates.
  • the sliding connection of the two angle profiles enables the balancing of occurring tensions or expansions in the adjoining surfaces.
  • such a device can only be used if both adjoining surfaces are provided with rigid coverings under which the fastening legs of the individual angle profiles can be accommodated.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a device for forming a connection transition between two surfaces adjoining one another at right angles, in which at least one surface is provided with rigid coverings, in particular with ceramic plates, with which the different stresses occurring on the surfaces delimiting the joint can be compensated with sufficient sealing of the transition.
  • the task of the invention is solved on a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that the extension of one leg of the angle profile Plastic is formed as a sealing strip, a softly set sealing lip, on the outside of which an adhesive profile is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the angle profile.
  • a profile can be accommodated, for example, in the area of the connection transition behind the ceramic plates glued to the wall without a significant increase in the adhesive layer and acts resiliently with the sealing lip formed on the other leg due to its inherent elasticity against the floor or in a special application against the edge of a bathtub.
  • a contact leg made of hard-set plastic on the outside of the sealing lip, on the outside of which the elastic adhesive profile is arranged.
  • Such a device is preferably proposed in which, at the free end of the contact leg, an approximately T-shaped connecting web, which is directed toward the leg with the sealing lip and is made of soft plastic, is formed, which is releasable with play in a groove-like, undercut chamber on the leg the sealing lip can be snapped into place.
  • the latched contact leg runs parallel to the leg with the sealing lip.
  • the connecting web can detach with its head from the corresponding leg, so that such a one-piece plastic profile can accommodate large changes in the connection joint.
  • the one-piece design of such a device which can be assembled in a simple manner and whose tightness is high after the connection transition has been formed.
  • the angle profile made of plastic designated overall by the number 1, is inserted in the connection transition between a wall 3 covered with ceramic plates 2 and a tub rim 6. Between the wall 3 and the tub edge 6, the insulation plate designated with the number 5 is provided.
  • the angle profile 1 With its leg 11, in which openings 111 are provided, the angle profile 1 is held fastened in an adhesive layer 4 behind the ceramic plate 2.
  • the adjacent ones Ceramic plates 2 sit on the leg 12 perpendicular to the leg 11.
  • a softly set sealing lip 13 is integrally formed, which in the installation situation has a sealing end with its lip end 131 against the tub rim 6.
  • the sealing lip 13 is integrally formed on the leg 12 during manufacture.
  • a contact leg 14 made of hard-set plastic material is formed in the outer third. In this situation, it is positioned at an angle to the sealing lip.
  • the contact leg 14 has at its free end a connecting web 15, again made of soft, elastic plastic, with a head 151 which is approximately T-shaped in cross section.
  • This connecting web 15 can be detachably latched with a head 151 into a chamber 16 formed on the leg 12
  • the latched situation is shown in broken lines in FIG. 1. It corresponds to the assembly situation in FIG. 2. In this situation, the contact leg 14 is approximately parallel to the leg 12.
  • the sealing lip 13 is bent and directed outwards.
  • the head 151 is tapered towards the outside, which facilitates its insertion into the insertion slot 161 with the end flanks 162 which are designed to be inclined towards one another. In the chamber 16, this head 151 is held so that it can be disengaged with a play of movement.
  • an adhesive profile 17 is held, which can be covered with a removable paper strip.
  • the contact leg 14 is locked with its connecting web 15 on the leg 12.
  • the contact leg with the adhesive strip 17, from which the paper strip may have been removed is pressed onto the tub rim 6.
  • a support web 141 is formed on the contact leg 14.
  • the connection transition with the ceramic plates 2 can take place, the leg 11 being to be accommodated in the adhesive layer 4 behind the ceramic plates 2.
  • the connecting web 15 can disengage from the chamber 16 with its head 151. The tight connection between the sealing lip 13 or its end 131 on the tub edge 6 remains guaranteed.
  • connection it is also possible to form the connection to a floor in a corresponding manner.
  • the reverse use of the angular profile 1 is also possible, the leg 1 being able to be arranged under the ceramic plates of a floor, while the sealing lip 13 acts against the adjacent wall.
